Aero-Optics Experimental Techniques.

Abstract

This report summarizes results of a study to determine the most appropriate aerodynamic experimental techniques for gathering data in aircraft boundary layer and shear layer turbulent flow, flow fields. It focuses on two primary techniques: hot-wire anemometry and five-hole pressure probes, and develops reduction equations for obtaining the desired aerodynamic parameters from raw data. It also presents comparison of hot-wire data using splitfilm probes and x-film probes collected during an airborne experiment.
